To say that Capstrat has a great reputation would be an understatement, and to say that I am excited about the opportunity would be as well. I would not have resigned from my position as Managing Editor of User-Generated Content at WRAL.com and editor of GOLO.com if the opportunity wasn’t worth it’s weight in gold.

And this one is.

I want to share this news with my readers here because you have encouraged me and your continued interest has made me deliver quality content in an effort to keep you coming back. For you, my B-game isn’t good enough and I try to bring my A-game with every post.

I am proud of the community I launched and grew from 0 to 15,000 members. I am also proud of the community that has grown as a result of this blog.

But don’t you think for a minute that this blog is done. It is moving into phase two, so be ready.

Thanks again for taking the time out of your day to read and interact with me here. And if you were one of the many sending well-wishes via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn, THANKS.

Hey Martin: So nice to hear from you. Yes, leaving the community will be bittersweet and I’m announcing it in a blog post tomorrow. I have told a few of the seriously engaged members who I’ve cultivated close relationships with over the years and they are all shocked. How will they cope? Ha. I don’t know but I have a feeling they will find a way. I just hope that they fill my shoes fast and not let it drag on because you and I both know that an unengaged community will soon find it’s end. Thanks again for the well wishes Martin. You’ve been an inspiration and I will always be a fan and reader of your blog.

Thank you so much Sonny! I’ve been wondering how your new gig was going and hadn’t taken a moment to reach out just yet. I do hope it is all you imagined and then some. Thanks again for the kind words.
